Vladimir Solovyov said Moscow has taken Berlin 'several times' since the 18th century and 'will take it again'
A close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin has sensationally claimed that Germany will eventually exist “under a Russian flag” in a series of inflammatory comments that will heighten fears that the Ukraine conflict could escalate into World War III.
“After a while, supply anything they need. So we have no other option,” he added. “Since the 18th century, we have taken Berlin several times and we will take it again if we have to. But this time, we will not leave. Last year, the US State Department described Solovyov as “the most energetic Kremlin propagandist around today”. He has made a number of controversial statements about Russian foreign policy in the past.
